The Pursuit of Trained Readiness with a goal to Avoid a 3-second-long Gun Fight
"The things I want to know are in books; my best friend is the man who'll get me a book I ain't read." Abraham Lincoln
By nature we do not court danger, but it can court us. Knowing how to handle the unexpected is important. Both armed and unarmed people must follow the very same steps for self-protection. Although when things escalate to Code Black, the unarmed will likely have no means to overcome the life-threatening amount of force against them. Actions for survival can be learned and routinely practiced by armed and unarmed citizens. Licensed armed citizens provide an invisible presence and are a respected deterrent within a society braced for increasing random acts of violence. The reader follows the author’s interesting expedition to learn about conceal carry, including his training to become a licensed conceal carry citizen. Discovered insights unimagined are encountered to offer challenges for self-examination of risks and benefits. Knowledge and wisdom greatly outweigh the disadvantage of ignorance about self-defense.

Pause and Become Aware -- Review by RabidReader Jan 9, 2015
Donn Ziebell’s latest book is a thoughtful and thought-provoking examination of the issues surrounding the carrying of concealed guns by US citizens. He has approached the subject with an analytical, open and curious mind. The 100-page volume clearly recounts what he learned through exhaustive research, firsthand experience, and even some pretty serious eavesdropping, in order to identify and evaluate the facts, fallacies and falsehoods of this controversial subject. Written in a easily assimilated style, reading CONCEAL CARRY; PAUSE is a surprisingly enjoyable experience and one every American should make the effort to do, so they can learn about the moral, societal and personal challenges and responsibilities for those who choose to conceal carry.
Thoughtful consideration for Conceal Carry Review by Bob O. Jan 19, 2015
This book, Conceal Carry: Pause, is a very informative analysis of what it is like to go through the process of training and actually becoming licensed for concealed carry. It is interesting, easy to read, and at the same time presents a huge amount of relevant information for the reader. Similar to the author, I grew up with guns for hunting and occasional use for animal control around the farm. My idea of concealed carry was it would take away my freedom to carry a gun without government interference, but would give some macho guy license to intimidate and/or lead to crime. I was wrong. Concealed carry can be a good thing. This book examines the many, many aspects and serious issues of owning and using a gun for self-defense. It certainly will help you decide if concealed carry is for you. Everyone, gun owner or not, should read this book to become informed about concealed carry; what it is, and what it is not.
Should be basic reading for anyone interested in CC Review by Mike Mamoser Feb 28, 2015
This book should be basic reading for anyone interested in concealed carry. That is it should be read before making a commitment. Discernment and responsibility are often left out of the decision process. Main-stream media and Hollywood have somehow skewed reality. A 100 page book written with intimate expressions of “now that I can - should I?” Dr. Ziebell shares his own analysis of concealed carry reasoning, and considerations. During this journey he has also documented the mental uncertainties of “if this happens- then what?” and “If I defend myself, am I willing to have a lifetime of legal problems?”
In his many novels, poetry, histories, editorials, plays, and letters, W. E. B. Du Bois poured so much of his blindingly incandescent soul into his writings that no single volume could ever contain all of his words or works. In fact, had not the his
